NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1929, vertised were Berlin News SCHOOL FINANCES BERLIN'S PROBLEM Town Mesting Tomorrow Night to Act on Bond Issue PROGRAM INVOLYES $130,000 Limit of Borrowing Power Being Approached With Need For Ex- tonsion of Public Service Evident ~—Bricfs. According to approximate figures learned today, Berlin will be near the limit of its borrowing power 1f the townspeople tomorrow night vote to go ahead with the proposed new school building in Kensington. Bonds to cover the approximate $130,000 cost must be issued and the town's approximate indebted- ness will increase from. $217,000 to $347,000. Rerlin's grand list this year will be approximately $8,000,000 but the town has the right to borrow on the cxempted property including churches, schaols, etc. at the rate of five per cent of the total amount of approximately $9,000,000. This means the limit would be reached when Berlin borrowed $540,000. At the present time the town is in debt on bonds to the extent of $54,000. Ad-led to this is a school deposit fund of $3,000 and with the debt incident to the expense of the fire districts the total is approxi- mately $217,000, With the added expense of erecting a school the | town would be in debt approxi- wmately $350,000. People of Berlin, Kensington and Iast Berlin districts are faced with the question: “Do we want to go into debt further or do we want to forego adequate school accommoda- tions? This question will be decided at a special town meeting in Town hall tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. 1t is expected that opponents of the plan will advance the argument that the town miay soon have to con- struct a fire house and this will bbe turther expense and further indebt- ress. They will probably offer a compromise plan which will incluae the construction of a smaller ad- dition. . Those who favor the addition say conditions in the Kensington Gram- mar school are very bad. There is need of a modern sanitary system and a portable school which is on the property should be eliminated, they say. The building was placed on the property about 10 years ago and although it should have becn used only about two or three years it has been used since that time, 't was learned today. Watched With Interest The projected appeal which Wil- lard 1. Alling may make to superior court in an effort to lower the us- sessment on his property in Ken- sington is being watched with in- terest by assessors in this part of the state. The reason is that if su- perior court overrules the town as- sessment board, it will be the first time this has happened in the his- tory of Rerlin. At present Mr. Alling has made no move to appeal to superior court, preferring to wait until he sees what | the board of relief will do. Several | appeals have been made to superior court but there has never been a re- | versal by the court. | Berlin is now operating under nl i new assessment scheme installed two years ago. It was modeled after the New Britain plan which was put in T B S PPty bought for spot cash, NoC.0.D.’s by Thomag Linder, assessor in that city. Many complaints have followed but the equality of the system is now gencrally conceded, officers of the town government say.

In the event House Bill No. 782, on which the judiciary committee submitted a favorable report to the house in the general assembly Tuesday afternoon, is passed, Bris- lgl will be included in the list of cities of the state in which the list of registered ters shall be com- piled to include street and number. At the present time such an ar- rangement is in effect in Hartford, New Haven, New Britain, Bridgu- port and Meriden, in the town, cily and center achool district of Water- bury, in the towns of Orange and West Hartford and in the city dis- tricts of Middletown. The bill, presented by Representa- e Epaphroditus Peck of this city, really an amendment to Section 12, Chapter 305 of the public acts of the state of Connecticut, passed at a special session of the legisla- ture in 1921 and reads as follows “Said registrars shall be in s rion for the purpose of perfecting such list on the Tuesday of the fourth week before the electors’ meeting to be held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November in the even numbered years contin- uously from 9 o'clock in the fore- noon until 5 o'clock in the afternoon at some suitable place in their respective districts or towns, of which notice shall be given by pub- lication in the newspaper, if any is rublished in said town, or by post- ing on a signpost therein, at least five days before said session.

The number of sessions shall be fixed by the selectmen of cach town." Will Increase Work of Registrars With the passage of the bill, the lists of the four voting districts in the city must be revised alphabetic- ally as to streets. This will mean a large increase in the work of regis- trars, who at the present time are each pald $100 a vear in addition to 30 cents for each hundred names in- cluded in his list submitted to the city clerk. At the election in November, 1928, the total number of voters in the city was 10,318, divided into the four voting districts as follows T 184; second, 1,404; fourth, 2,847. The greatest difficulty it is point- cd out, will probably result from the frequent changes in addre of some voters. In past elections many such changes have been discovered when voters appeared at a voting place other than where they were listed. due to the fact that they had moved and had failed to inform their registrar. Unlcss, under the new bill voters notify the registrars of such changes in tddresses, it is very probable that & number ef errors What Now? Y) (vessR-uE CAME ) S0 Your Uncre KARRY 15 IN TOWN?

Meeting Postponed Due to the lack of a necessary quorum, the monthly meeting of the city planning commission, scheduled for 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. was indefinitely postponed. But two members appearced at the appointed hour. ‘When the estimates were prepared this year, the planning commission requested an appropriation of $5,000 to cover the cost of zoning the city. However, due to the necessity of paring the budget to keep the tax 1ate at its present figure, this esti- mate will be stricken out entirely. cily officials intimated at a recent rieeting. Such a step, it 18 pointed out, would naturally result n a dis- continuance of activities of the plan- ning board, at least until next year.

CHAPLIN 15 TILL INSERIDUS SHAPE (Doctor Friend Aunounces No Change in His lness Los Angeles, Feb, 28 (#—Dr. Ce- cil Reynolds, brain specialist, at- tending Charles Chaplin in the cu- pacity of physician and “friend” an- nounced this morning that the noted film comedian’s condition was un- chunged. He suffered a relapse yes- terday. Chaplin, Dr. Reynolds said, was suffering from intestinal influenza, following an attack of ptomaine poisoning last Monday. The doctor, who left the Chaplin residence -in Beverly Hills before midnight indi- cated he had reccived a report from the night nurse attending the actor. The change in the actor's condi- tion yesterday came while he was believed to be on the road to recov- ery. Early last night his studio of- fices reported that he had a tem- peraturc of 101 degrees. liepresen- tatives of the studio also said he had a touch of intestinal influenza and that precautions had been taken to | prevent the possible development of pneumonia. Secrecy is Maintained Considerable secrecy has sur- rounded Chaplin's illness, most of the information given out has come from his studio representatives, It was learned that a trained nurse has been in constant attendance at his bedside and that Dr. Cecil Reynolds, a brain specialist, has been spend- ing most of his time at the Chaplin home. Dr. Reynolds' connection with the case was described by stu- dio representatives, however, as that of “a friend.” It was indicated that the specialist was not treating Chap- lin for any mental disorder. An announcement of Chaplin's personal representatives said that while Chaplin was *“a very ' sick man,” he was not believed to be in a condition to cause undue alarm. The fact that servants had givem him solid food instead of a prescrib- ed liquid diet was cited as a pos- sible cause for the aggravation of his conition.
